What do four women poets, centuries apart, say to each other across time? In The Sisters, composer and librettist Patricia Wallinga reimagines Amy Lowell’s visionary poem as a bold new opera, weaving the voices of Sappho, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Emily Dickinson into a haunting dialogue on legacy, identity, and artistic lineage. Directed by Elise D’Avella and brought to life by a dynamic design team of entirely female and non-binary identifying Philadelphia based creatives, The Sisters is a vibrant tribute to the enduring joy of self-expression and the timeless voices that continue to inspire us.
